![]() This does come off a lot like male and female characters need distance in their friendships. Nothing you can do about it without writing fan fiction to cure your ails. People will always have their favorite characters/couples even if the author isn’t behind the pairing. I remember people going on about wanting Harry with Hermione and Aang with Toph. True is that I can’t see them beyond that. I have heard a few people want Luke Callindor and Nyx to go further than friendship. The other type is when the friendship is between male and female. Then again, I might be over-analyzing people that simply love to piss off fans of characters. To these people, the relationship itself ‘must’ have some romance in it because ‘only’ lovers are that open with each other. A character who cries in front of a friend and has physical contact for comfort must be ‘weak’. They’re seeing something that they shouldn’t be seeing, so they mock and tease the friendship. Maybe seeing the emotions of another person, even fictional, makes a person feel awkward. I think it stems from characters being emotional and having physical contact. That crossing into what reality calls best friends is where people go batty. If the friends are only joking around and on the adventure together then people over look it. One is when the friends are of the same gender and have emotional conversations with each other. You have to sit there and take the abuse from those that see every fictional relationship as fucking. Doesn’t matter if you’re sick of hearing it or annoyed that it’s the only LOTR conversation you seem to have. Get angry about the people say Sam and Frodo were fucking then you ‘hate gay people’. I think the homophobia is either genuine or the person likes using it as a shield for their teasing. ![]() I’m guessing this is a vocal minority too with a touch of homophobia in the mix. I don’t know if it’s simply fun to mock or people are really uncomfortable seeing other people be close/emotional with each other while not having sex in the equation. Even siblings get the accusation for some reason. It seems a lot of people go for the mocking or serious belief that close friends in fiction are romantically involved. I mentioned a few things and got a surprising response: The few shots that do exist of the sequence suggest there might have, at one point, been a version of The Two Towers where Peter Jackson got to indulge in his love of monster movies for a moment and use a sudden jump scare to visualize the tragedy befalling the trilogy's hero.I had an interesting conversation with an acquaintance about this week’s subject of friendship and family in fiction. It could have even been tied closer to Frodo's eventual corruption in The Return of the King, with his eyes and features suddenly recalling this form in a piece of dark foreshadowing. Thus, compared to the Faramir scenes, the sudden vision of a corrupted Frodo doesn't add much to an already lengthy movie.Įven as a concept, however, "Frodo as Gollum" is a compelling image - a dark "what if?" scenario made briefly real by the fears of the heroes. In fact, this becomes a major element of the Gondor storyline in The Return of the King. However, unlike the deleted Frodo scene, these moments reveal more specific details about Faramir as a character and set up his testy relationship with Denethor. However, similar moments of fantasy were included in extended cuts of the film with Faramir. It might have even been somewhat distracting, given its one-off nature in the film. The shot isn't necessarily vital to the sequence as it's mostly an impressive visualization rather than anything of substantial significance. As such, we've updated this feature with some more information. However, Frodo could have easily gone down the path taken by Gollum. Destroying the One Ring was always his destiny, even if it meant temporarily falling sway to its malevolent allure. Updated on August 29, 2023, by Ajay Aravind: Although Frodo would have never successfully completed his perilous mission without the rest of the Fellowship, there's no doubt that he had that most important job in Middle-earth. That said, the influence of the One Ring would remain on Frodo for the rest of his days, explaining why he chooses to leave Middle-earth with Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel. One sequence from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was originally set to include a shot of what Frodo would look like in his own Gollum form, and it's a harrowing hint of the dark fate the Hobbit only barely escaped. But when it came to filming the trilogy, that comparison almost became very literal. Throughout their interactions together, Gollum painfully illustrates what could become of Frodo if the One Ring fully corrupted him.
